LENA by IgorSky - FINISHED - scale 1/290 - BOTTLE - steam schooner

[cog]

Marvelous work ... again ... (see you still use that hughe match stick ;-) and those giant's fingers)  Ashtonishing scale work ...

[mtaylor]

I'm going to my room and lie down for a bit.  My brain is numbed by what I just saw.  Amazing isn't enough to describe it.

[IgorSky]

Thanks Carl and Mark for good words!

In reality, all these parts are easy to manufacture. I try to use ordinary materials and I am using not sophisticated tools.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Thank you Bob!

 

The next stage - the deck.

The important point - the first deck plank should be glued exactly in the center of the deck

 

 

Do you make those deck planks yourself?  If you do, can you share how they are made?

 

Cheers!

Hi Taoism!

Now I usually am ordering the planks my desired size 0.5x0.5, 0.5x0.8, 0.5x1 mm.

But the planks 0.5x0.5 mm for the deck easily to cut out from veneer 0.5 mm using a scalpel and a metal ruler.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

You didn't use a mill, Igor?!?!?

[IgorSky]

You didn't use a mill, Igor?!?!?

Hi Carl,

Sorry, what means "mill"? ((

[cog]

A woodmill is where wood is sawn into beams or planks, often called mill or sawmill

 

I found this as translation

лесопилка

 

You understand so much, it's just to easy to forget we are foreigners here ...

Thank you Carl!

No, I do not use the mill for this, because now I have the opportunity to buy different kinds of wood planks necessary sizes to me.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Hi Igor

 

How are you?  If you get a chance, could you please indicate how you made your steering wheel?  If so, that'd be great, because I really struggle with these items, whereas you've done a brilliant job.

 

Hopefully, this is okay with you.

 

Cheers

Now LENA looks so

[cog]

She's developing rather nicely Igor. So seems bigger than she is ...

[IgorSky]

Thank you Carl!

[mtaylor]

Lovely work, Igor.  Nice and clean and crisp.

Hi Igor

 

Lovely work! It's the tiny details like the hinges and portholes on the doors that bring Lena to life for me.

 

I'm looking forward to the next update.

 

Cheers

[captainbob]

I see a real masterpiece in the making.

 

Bob

[IgorSky]

Thanks Mark, Patrick, Bob and to all who are interested in this project!

 

The next step - the making of the lifeboats. I need to make 2 lifeboat and I'm starting to do them at the same time, so that eventually they should be the same.

Hi Igor

 

With each further post, you exceed yourself - incredible!

 

Best regards,

Mike

[IgorSky]

Thank you Mike!

Usually, when I am starting to do the next part I'm not sure what I can do in the end ))

 

Best Regards!

Hi Igor,

 

Love the detail work in this build and I am still recovering from the pictures of your completed bridge! Great stuff!

 

Ships boats also look wonderful and thank you for showing your method for making them.  I hope you don't mind if I borrow your method to make a boat for my build!

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

[IgorSky]

Hi Nigel,

Yes, of course I'll be happy if it will be useful to you.

But for which model you want to make this boat?

You can make a really small boat using this method -

 

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[cog]

What method might that be Igor the Great !?!?!? :im Not Worthy:

[UpstateNY]

Hi Igor,

 

Nothing so advanced as that tiny boat! I just want to make a ships boat for my Red Dragon Chinese junk. 

 

If I understand your pictures, you made up your ships boats by forming a bottom layer and then shaping it.  You then added the thwarts, bow and stern pieces and used them to support the final layer of planking.

 

Is that right or did I miss an important step?

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

[IgorSky]

Hi Carl,

I think you're exaggerating ))

I also think that each one of us can do almost anything. The main thing - just to start doing it ))

In my methods is nothing improbable or difficult. It's just a set of simple steps and elements.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.
